Wings of Fire: The Fallen Heirs

Chapter Twenty

None of the dragons stopped flying as they kept Jade Mountain and the Sandwing statues behind them.  As the sun rose, the forest turned more and more green, and the sound of birds chirping filled the air, as if nothing bad had happened.

          "Well, we're officially in the Rainforest," Nocturnal said.  "Are you guys sure they'll be able to help Kite?  They might have to help others if we don't stop Blister and Orca soon."

          Clay nodded.  "They've got lot's of different medicines in the Rainforest.   Besides, they're ruled by the best queen ever."

          Tsunami sighed.  "He knows that already Clay, he's seen Glory before.  Let's just hope she won't murder you for what you thought last time you came here."

          This time it was Nocturnal's turn to sigh.  "Ya, I'm just surprised she didn't send her assassin boyfriend to kill me after I left."

          Tsunami smiled.  "Tell me, what did you say again to freak her out so much?"

          I suggested that Deathbringer and Glory were my biological parents.

          Tsunami laughed, falling in the air, the students giving her strange looks when she wasn't watching.  "Oh three moons, they would have had to known each other before the false brightest night then.  You definitely did your math wrong guy."

           The rest of the time, no one spoke, just trying to take their minds off Jade Mountain by looking at the scenery.  "Okay everyone!", Sunny yelled to get everyone's attention.  "I need you all to land right bellow us.  I'll go get Queen Glory to help us."

          With that, she flew off into the forest, while all the students and teachers landed, finally talking.

          Frostfire scowled, staring up at the trees, while Crimson just walked around, talking once in a while, and then moving somewhere else.

          Out of nowhere, six Rainwings appeared.  "Hey your majesty, what took you so long?!?!", Tsunami asked.

          Queen Glory landed, telling the other Rainwings to lead the students towards the Rainwing village.  "Tsunami, I'd like to know when you decided bringing more than thirty dragons to the Rainforest was a good idea?", Glory said, motioning to all the students.

          "Look, you try and go somewhere safe when two undead dragon queens have destroyed your school, and are hunting you down," Tsunami said, irritated.

          Glory looked shocked, but quickly hid this.  "The whole school?  And I thought it was just Blister?  Although Blister is bad enough."

          Tsunami shook her head.  "You remember Orca?  She decided to pay the Summer Palace a visit.  Now there are a bunch of Seawing prisoners.  She's obviously going for the deep palace next."

          Glory said something to the remaining Rainwing, and he flew off as fast as he could.  "We need to build up our defences.  I'll try and get help from the Icewings and get some fire resistant Mudwings too.  This doesn't just involve one tribe.  It's everyone's problem now," Glory said, scowling.

          By the middle of the day, all the students and teachers were in the Rainwing village, chatting to themselves.  Kite was in the healers hut, laying completely still.  The blood had stopped flowing out of him, but he still hadn't moved at all, and his breathing had gotten worse.

          Tsunami was at the ledge of one of the Rainwing houses, which she was allowed to barrow.  She looked out at the world.  The students all sounded nervous.  If you looked closely, you could see invisible Rainwings circling the area, watching for the statues.  Tsunami thought about Glorys words earlier. This doesn't just involve one tribe.  It's everyone's problem now.
